| How do I create a barcode with GS1 US?
Register for a company prefix to get started. This registration process is quick and easy and requires some basic information about your company and a registration fee. Once you receive your prefix, you can create barcode numbers (GTINs) for each product you're selling. How long does it take to receive my company prefix?
Once your payment is processed, you'll receive it within one business day. How long does the company prefix belong to my company?
Your initial registration fee licenses the prefix to you for one year. After that, you'll pay a small annual renewal fee to continue using the company prefix for your barcodes. How much is the registration fee?
The initial fee can be as low as $760 for 100 or fewer barcodes. For this fee, you will also have access to an online reference library of supply chain standards, implementation guides, education webinars, and priority customer support. You'll also have access to Data Driver, an online tool that makes it easy to create, manage, download and print your barcodes.
